Today you will

• improve the wording and layout of your proposal and your letter
• save a PDF of each one
• tick the Key Assignment 1 checklist and show your teacher

Warm-up

Open {{code:03_proposal_draft}} in your {{code:03_documents}} folder. Find one sentence that is vague or too long. That is the first sentence you will rewrite.

If a file is missing, tell your teacher now.

Your teacher checks each document for five things.

• Created: you made it in a word processor.
• Stored: it is saved in {{code:03_documents}}.
• Edited: you changed the wording or the layout.
• Printable: a clean PDF is saved beside it.
• Specific purpose: it has a real reader and a clear job.

Example

Before: "This project is something I kind of want to do because it would be good for the community and stuff."

After: "This community clean-up day will give local volunteers a clear three-hour plan."

Now you will improve your proposal. Follow the steps in the box below and tick each one. You'll do the letter in the next task.

Common issues

• I only changed the font. That is not enough. Rewrite a sentence and fix the layout too.
• I can't find my PDF. Look in your Downloads folder, then move it into {{code:03_documents}}.
• Part of the page is cut off in the PDF. Shrink the picture or the margins, then save the PDF again with the same name.
